Balderdasch Releases Brooding New Single “Stillness Gyrating” And It IS Evocative
Following a tease of new material during a radio broadcast for New York art publishers Montez Press Radio, Balderdasch today shares her evocative new single, “Stillness Gyrating.” The brooding track was self produced, recorded between her flat and the home studio of experimental saxophonist Pete Wareham, who provided additional production and mixing. The track was mastered by Jamie Hyland of M(h)aol, who discovered Balderdasch’s music after she was announced as a showcasing artist for Ireland Music Week 2024. “Stillness Gyrating” is, at its core, about the realization that if you do not align with someone, you will always feel unable to meet their needs, leaving you frozen while they dance around you.
Balderdasch reveals the personal weight of the track, saying, “When someone says, ‘You don’t know how good we have it,’ it doesn’t sound like love. It sounds like, ‘You’re unhappy, but this is all you deserve.’” The stunning cover was shot on Sherkin Island, off the coast of Cork, Ireland, by Balderdasch and her best friend Fai West. She added that shooting the visuals in Ireland was important: “This song is about standing on the precipice of ending a relationship and beginning a journey towards understanding how to let myself give in to my own desires without shame.” The song signals a powerful journey toward self understanding and genuine desire.

Jorge Wilson Finds Freedom And Groove On The Infectious New Single “Gemini”
Stoke on Trent indie pop artist Jorge Wilson writes music with a disarming honesty that truly reflects his roots. With a sound he describes as “modern vintage,” Wilson blends nostalgic textures with forward thinking production, fusing the charm of the past with the edge of today. Drawing inspiration from artists like Mac DeMarco, Steve Lacy, and The 1975, his music is an honest reflection of who he is and who he is becoming. After feeling unable to fully express himself in a previous band, Wilson launched his solo project in late 2023, writing, performing, and producing much of his material guided by the mantra “Listen to nobody.” That shining independence is channeled directly into his new single “Gemini,” an infectious, groove led track that captures the thrill of letting someone see your true self.
Written after an impromptu moment of inspiration, “Gemini” channels Wilson’s love of both 80s icons like Men At Work and Michael Jackson, whose “Beat It” inspired the song’s guitar solo, and contemporary innovators like Tame Impala. The track was recorded with producer Steven Griffiths at Dead Door Studios and explores the idea of duality, that side of someone you only discover once you are close enough to see beneath the surface. Since debuting his solo project, Wilson’s music has earned strong support from BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio USA, alongside features in The Sentinel. With “Gemini,” he continues to cement his place as one of indie pop’s most exciting new voices, creating a sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly his own.
